so what do you have. Near the front of the engine bay do you just have a big black air box?

I'm gonna take some pictures and look around the inside and then I'll get back to you with some answers...I feel like such a dummy. I'll do it today after work.

I know why it is. Its because of humidity stoping the electric current going from the plug wires correctly. If you look very closely you may even be able to see it arcing. One woman on here before had this problem. I still dont know how she fixed it. But if you find where it is arcing then my recomendation would be to spray it with some kind of synthetic spray to repell any kind of moisture. Hope that helps!

They make a gell that you put on the end of the spark plug and you can get it at any car parts store. Plus if you decided to buy new wires most companies now put that already in the boot of the wire.

Electrical contact silicone, wd40, or crc 656 dry lubercant will inhibit moisture. That cel is a clue to the cause. when you key up the motor that light comes on to show that the ecu is getting power. So you have a short some where but it lies with the power for the ecu. Check all of your leads for cracked wires or bad grounds.

Hi all...it took me a while but I finally got the pictures of my engine up. I hope this makes things easier to explain and for me to understand.
